Hello,
My name is Lyn Carroll. In 2009 my son Steven Carroll, a rookie New Mexico State police officer, attended your training seminar. On February 16,
2011 , while making a routine traffic stop he was beaten and stabbed by the man he pulled over. The altercation with the man lasted over 7 minutes.
During this time the man tried to gain control of Steven's service weapon. Steven knew if he gave up he would surely die.
Because of the superior training in the New Mexico State Police Academy, your seminar and Steven's will to live we had a positive outcome. For this
we are truly thankful. Steven told me tonight he remembers the videos at the seminar of the officers who did not make it home. He said that he did not
want to be in one of those videos. These videos had a big impact on my son. Your seminar, in a large part, helped save my son's life.
Steven is well on his way to a full recovery and very proud to be a New Mexico State Police officer.
Thank you for providing this training to all the men and women of law enforcement. This is proof that it can help save lives.

Proud mom of a New Mexico State Police officer.

Hello. I just wanted to share something with you:
I had mouth surgery last week, and as I was laying there the assistant noticed my McGrane bracelet. She said that her and her family are from the
east mountains and were familiar with “that horrible tragedy” and pointed to my bracelet. She then told me her brother had been a drug user and had
been in trouble with the law when one night several “cops” responded to his house. She said her brother was outside in cuffs for a long time and of all
the cops on scene, Jimmy was the only one who treated him well. She said in spite of the fact her brother was high on drugs and committed crimes,
Jimmy saw that he was cold and shivering and offered him a blanket and then got permission to let him sit in back of the patrol car. The assistant said
her brother never forgot the kindness Jimmy showed him that night, and when Jimmy was killed her brother was saddened and said, “God took a good
man.” In addition, she said since then, her brother has “cleaned up his act” and is no longer using drugs or committing crimes.
Just goes to show how far unbiased kindness can go. You must be so proud, Mr. and Mrs. McG!
